2025 Long-Term Care Equality Index Participants

Appendix – LEI 2025 Participants

274 communities from 33 states actively participated in the LEI 2025. While we celebrate these 274 communities and the progress that they have made on LGBTQ+ inclusion, we must acknowledge that we are releasing this report during an incredibly challenging time for the LGBTQ+ community. The hard work and dedication needed to ensure inclusive senior housing communities pushes forward in a sobering political climate. Increased, baseless attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts have resulted in a need to protect participating communities from being unfairly targeted. Therefore, the HRC Foundation and SAGE decided not to release individual scorecards in this year’s report.

Below is a list of the LEI 2025 participating communities have asked to be publicly listed.

HRC and SAGE have not evaluated every housing option listed, but we will actively investigate any claims of negative treatment. Please send us feedback if you find any of these facilities less than affirming and welcoming at LEI@hrc.org.

What Does Each Tier of Recognition Mean?

Tiers of Recognition

The LEI recognizes participating long-term care and senior housing communities. Participating communities that have met all of Criteria 1’s foundational non-discrimination policies and training can achieve one of three Tiers of Recognition. See below for a description and requirements for each tier

At this tier, communities are beginning their journey and have a solid foundation of key policies that are codified and communicated. To achieve this tier, communities must have all Criteria 1 practices in place. These practices include an LGBTQ+ inclusive resident non-discrimination policy, equal visitation policy, employee non-discrimination policy, and completion of the executive briefing.

At this tier, in addition to meeting the requirements for the Equality Builder tier, High Performer communities have adopted a minimum of practices in the areas of Resident Services and Supports, Employee Benefits and Policies, and Resident and Community Engagement. To achieve this tier, communities must reach a minimum number of best practices (see below) in Criteria 2, 3, and 4.

At this tier, in addition to meeting the requirements for the prior two tiers, Equality Leader communities have integrated the majority of practices in the areas of Resident Services and Supports, Employee Benefits and Policies, and Resident and Community Engagements. To achieve this tier, communities must reach a set number of best practices (see below) in Criteria 2, 3, and 4, including a transgender-inclusive insurance plan.
